This movie is a comforting one ! The society and Maurice both on different stages against each other . And the factvthta the movie is set into 90s makes it more understable. Love the ending that Maurice didn't ended up alone. If two lovers are really love each other then theirs Nothing to hold them or part them away. Clive being happy with his wife on the other hand Maurice and Alec being together makes me happy at the same time ! Definitely give it a try. You wouldn't regret it.
